Hi everyone, I’m totally ignorant about programming, but with the help of Copilot and ChatGPT5, I’ve created a fully functional plugin for super convenient search of notes based on tags. I took inspiration from this old plugin Obsidian Tag Search, so thanks to rwblickhan.
I would like to submit this plugin to see if anyone wants to improve it or simply use it, as I said, I am not able to understand if there are any problems in the written code.
This plugin creates a button with a “#” icon at the top right of the interface, in the tab bar. Clicking on it opens a modal window where you can type a word, for example “fish,” and below it appears a list of all notes containing the tag “#fish” or the closest fuzzy match. Clicking on the chosen note opens it in a new tab and closes the modal window.
Basically, this plugin was born out of my frustration with Obsidian’s native tag search system. You first have to open the search panel, click on the “tag: search for tags” preset—which isn’t even available on mobile—and type in the word corresponding to the tag you want, after which a list of notes containing that tag appears.
Since tag search is the only search I use, and in my opinion the most functional and convenient of all, I wanted something more immediate, which would start by clicking a button that is always visible and ready in the interface.
Until now, to achieve this, I had to use the tag search function of Obsidian Another Quick Switcher Plugin together with Commander to create the button, but I considered it a waste of code and space, since both plugins are designed to do many more things that I don’t need.
Now I’m uploading my plugin ready to install, let me know what you think.
